Commentary
Concerning the most meritorious deed, there are various narrations. In actuality, an excellent work may vary in accordance with various states and individuals. In certain conditions, remembrance of Allâh is most excellent, and in some other conditions, striving in the way of Allâh. Likewise, from the angle of disposition, charity is excellent. For some other individual, from the point of inclination, the performance of the ritual prayer in its proper time could be excellent. Hence, various narrations should not be considered contradictory.
